My column in today’s Sports section is a perfect example of one of the main limitations of newspapers. It’s about about a dispute over beach access on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands between off-road vehicle users and environmentalists. A judge was supposed to rule on the case today. Now, it looks like that ruling could be delayed. I found this out late last night after the paper had gone to press. Oh, well. That’s what blogs are for, I guess.
Irene Nolan, of the (Hatteras) Island Free press, has been on top of the story since the beginning. She breaks down these new developments here. This video shows Frank Folb explaining the specific areas of beach that will be closed.
